Opposition Spokesman on Finance, Audley Shaw, has dismissed the recent High Level Caribbean Growth Forum held in Montego Bay last week, as another talk shop.
He’s also dismissing claims by Deputy Managing Director of the IMF, Min Zhu, that Jamaica’s performance under its four year agreement with the multilateral has been a miracle.
According to Mr. Shaw, no miracle has been performed, given the suffering being experienced by the Jamaican people.
Mr. Shaw made the comments at Papine High School in St. Andrew yesterday, while addressing a meeting of the youth arm of the JLP, Young Jamaica.
Audley Shaw says claims by the IMF’s Deputy Managing Director that the Simpson Miller administration’s performance under the four year extended Fund Facility Agreement has been a miracle are unfounded.
He says the real miracle that’s occurred under the PNP administration is the continued survival of the Jamaican people.
Mr. Shaw says there’s no miracle in the suffering being experienced by the Jamaican people.
Mr. Shaw says both small and large businesses are buckling under the current economic policies of the PNP administration.
